I wonder if it would be better to name the directory "synopsys" or
"designware" rather than "arc" now. Is there a chance that the same
controller is used on non-arc CPUs?

Please remove the #ifdef here. The driver does not work without this
anyway, so better make it 'depend on OF_IRQ' in Kconfig.

You should add a binding document in Documentation/devicetree/bindings that
describes what properties are required.

This block can be simplified to a single devm_ioremap_resource() now.

The cast to 'void *' is wrong: please make sure that you always use '__iomem'
pointers for MMIO mappings. You can use 'sparse' with 'make C=1' to check this
at build time.

Same as above, remove the #ifdef.

This header seems to be included only in the main .c file, just
move the contents there and remove this file.

of_find_node_by_name() is probably not what you want here, the name should
not be used as a primary key. Maybe it's better to use a standalone driver
for the phy and put it into drivers/net/phy/. I don't know what the official
policy is here though, since the phy is only used in this one driver.
